Persol sunglasses

Like a lot of the best things in fashion, Persols are made in Italy. Thename comes from Italian "Per Sol", meaning "For the Sun". Persols are thebest made sunglasses in the world. They have the style you'd expect from aclassic and the amenities you'd except from a luxury brand. Persols alsofocus on making glasses, so they are as focused on the utilitarian functionof the glasses as much as the fashionable look. Throw into the mix thatthey have been worn by some of the coolest men in the world and you canunderstand why they are legendary.

Persols are recognized by the classic metal hinge which looks stylish aswell as adds support to the folding arms. Each arm is designed with two tofour lines on it. These lines are utilitarian in nature making the armsbend to prevent damage when you sit on them, or your child squeezes them.Steve McQueen's Persol 714s even have hinges built in the bridge and thearms, so they can be carried easily in a pocket.

Let us here at DF know if you have any other favorite glasses or sunglassesbrands.
